Hence, the feverish desire on the part of the State to seize powder and arms now in the hands of the citizenry.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Does anybody notice how non-responsive the Congress has become to the American electorate ?

Our Nation was built on freedoms which were protected by government in the ‘Bill of Rights’and the Constitution .
Now , government seems to have become larger , and the role of citizens is to financially support this engrossed bureaucracy .
Our rights are steadily being trampled , one-by-one .
We , and our rights , are now becomming subservient to government largess.

The problem that the State has is that of investment dollars for private ownership of legal goods. I have not seen an estimate of how much money has been spent by Ameicans for arms and ammo but it must be astronomical!

People are not give up their monetary investment without a fight and most especially when it deals with giving up 2nd Amendment rights along with it.
